Try to make an empty copy (Ctrl+C without selection) within Netbeans and then try again to perform copying from browser or another application. It works for me after many solutions I tried.

This bug report also suggests adding

-J-Dnetbeans.slow.system.clipboard.hack=false

to the netbeans_default_options in netbeans.conf, but it did not work for me.

@gumuruh I don't understand the question? Anyway, just try to make an empty copy within the Netbeans to reset the clipboard, that works for me. – Dejan Stojanovic Oct 29 '20 at 07:54

This Problem is known for over 10 years now and still not fixed.

See https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88161

Workaround: Restart the IDE.

It looks like the NetBeans IDE assumes that what a developer does with other applications (clipboard operations) is not relevant to NB. The only time that NB does not apply this assumption is when the clipboard is empty. The NB clipboard must first be emptied by cutting or copying nothing (similar to previously posted answers). There is no menu item; there is no shortcut to clear the NB clipboard.

This problem still applies to NB 12.0 as of 2021/5/18.

Still as of nov 11, 2021, but that trick of cutting empty works well! – Valerin Nov 08 '21 at 11:51

On Win11 JDK17 Netbeans 13, not selecting anything copies the whole line. – Tugalsan Karabacak Apr 13 '22 at 08:30

Selecting text and dragging into the Netbeans still works if you are lazy to restart.

I'm facing the same problem. If you use cut (ctrl+x) and paste (ctrl+v) instead of copy (ctrol+c) it works.

This worked for me. ctrl-X in Maven, then Ctrl-V in other app. The return to Maven and Ctrl-Z to restore the text. – David A Stumpf Aug 22 '22 at 06:00
